Explanation To Books The Rough-Face Girl

This moving adaptation of the classic children's story Cinderella tells how a disfigured Algonquin girl wins the heart of a mysterious being who lives by the lake near her village.

The powerful Invisible Being is looking for a wife, and all the girls in the village vie for his affections. But only the girl who proves she can see him will be his bride. The two beautiful but spoiled daughters of a poor village man try their best to be chosen, but it is their Rough-Face-Girl sister, scarred on her face and arms from tending fires, who sees the Invisible Being in the wonder of the natural world.

The dramatic illustrations reflect the vibrant earth colors of the native landscape and the wisdom and sensitivity of the protagonist.

Write Up Appertaining To Books The Rough-Face Girl

An interesting, beautifully illustrated Algonquin tale reminiscent of Cinderella. The ending is fascinating and I'm still trying to figure out all of the possible endings besides the obvious "happily ever after" with her "prince." It's so intriguing that she "sees his face everywhere" even though no one else can see him. I wonder if this is to reflect that, when we love someone, they are always present with us. Whether there is a deeper Spiritual meaning here (is the marriage in someway

I love Cinderella stories and am always looking for new variations. This one comes from the Algonquin Indians and I was immediately excited by its departure from the traditional Cinderella formula. The heroine is not oppressed by a stepmother, in fact no mother is ever mentioned. However the abusive older sisters are present and force the youngest daughter to tend to the fire causing her hands and face to scar with burns and her hair to singe and fray. Already we are presented with a girl who is

One of my favorite Cinderella retellings 💕 lovely Native American spun tale.

Although this book has been accused of citing misleading sources, and criticized for its europeanized retelling, The Rough-Faced Girl, by Rafe Martin, illustrated by David Shannon earned one star from me for Shannons illustration of the Rough-faced girl (now smooth and dewy fresh) bathing in the lake. Half Land-O-Lakes Butter Maiden, half 1940s pin-up girl, this illustration doesnt belong in childrens literature.

This is very much a children's book and it's a Cinderella story set in the Native American setting. The illustrations are beautiful and I think it could be a good way to expose children to a different culture while teaching them about beauty within being much more important than beauty outside, especially when the two don't match. I wish I had known about this book when my children were young. But I think this would make a nice read-aloud.
